Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

He quickly said, "If there is nothing else, then I'll take my leave!"

Dumbledore used his other hand to indicate that Douglas could leave at any time, with no intention of returning the radio.

Douglas forced a smile, pointed at the radio and said:

"Professor, could you please give that back to me first?"

Dumbledore suddenly acted like a child and put the radio behind him.

"Aha, how about borrowing this for a while? I'll take this box of candy in exchange.

The radio upstairs is a bit bulky and not as good looking as yours...

After this matter is over, I will return it to you. Of course, you can also modify another one and give it to me, and I will tell you a big secret! "

Douglas was very disdainful. You might not know more secrets than I do. He also guessed that Dumbledore's purpose was definitely not that simple.

In particular, Dumbledore's fingers were always on a key part of the modified radio.

He pulled a box from his pocket and handed it to Dumbledore:

"Professor, this is the mithril plate that stores recordings. If you're worried about accidentally erasing the previous recordings, you can replace it with this..."

Dumbledore smiled, then took out a thin mithril plate from the side of the recorder and replaced it with the mithril plate in the box.

"Is that so? That's a very good idea, a bit like fairy craftsmanship. I think the information stored in this kind of mithril should be more difficult to modify than memory!"

Douglas thought of a sentence: Dumbledore and his good friend Nicolas Flamel achieved outstanding results in the field of alchemy...

When it comes to alchemy, I can't compare with others at all. I still need to study hard.

When he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of a question:

"Professor, if we and the Ministry of Magic find some manuscripts or other inheritances left by Slytherin in the Chamber of Secrets, what will we do then?"

Dumbledore said calmly:

"Salazar Slytherin was one of the founders of Hogwarts and the first Head of Slytherin House."

Douglas nodded to show that he understood.

Chapter 133 Summer is coming

When Harry found Hermione and Ron, they were doing their homework in the common room.

"Why didn't you go to the auditorium to eat?"

Ron put down the quill in his hand, rubbed his wrist and said:

"I ate too much at Hagrid's at noon. Why are you just getting back?"

Hermione asked somewhat awkwardly:

"Did the professor tell us how to punish us after we left?"

Ron nodded quickly and pointed at the paper in his hand and said:

"Did Professor Holmes say anything? Look, we've already written the inspection!"

Harry had originally forgotten what happened in Hagrid's hut, but after being reminded by these two, he immediately remembered it.

Looking at the inspection in front of the two people, he cleared his throat and said:

"Ahem, Professor Holmes told me to tell you that each of you should write a two-foot-long inspection and submit it to his office tomorrow afternoon."

Before Ron and Hermione could question him, Harry quickly glanced around and continued in a low voice:

"You will never imagine what I just experienced in the principal's office..."

After Harry described his experience, Hermione said wait a moment and quickly ran back to the girls' dormitory.

Ron also lowered his voice and asked:

"So, now only your Parseltongue can control the Basilisk?"

Harry shook his head and said:

"But I'm not of Slytherin descent, and I don't even know what a basilisk is..."

The two had just chatted for a few words when Hermione came running back in a hurry with a book in her hand.

He said as he flipped through the book:

"I happened to have seen the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets you mentioned in Hogwarts: A History, and..."

Hermione quickly flipped to the page she was looking for, pointed to a paragraph of text and said:

"...Salazar Slytherin built the Chamber of Secrets without the knowledge of the other three founders of Hogwarts...

Perhaps, Slytherin originally built the Chamber of Secrets just to have a place where he could teach his students spells that the other three founders might not agree with (they had long been divided on the issue of teaching the Dark Arts)...

Because Slytherin was unwilling to accept Muggle-born children, he had a fierce argument with Gryffindor. In the end, Slytherin chose to leave Hogwarts Castle and close the Chamber of Secrets.

According to this legend, Slytherin sealed the Chamber of Secrets so that no one could open it until his true heir arrived at the school. Only that heir could unlock the Chamber and release the horrors within, allowing it to cleanse the school of all those unworthy of studying magic.

Ron said in surprise:

"What do you mean by someone who is unworthy of learning magic? According to Slytherin's theory, except for Slytherin students, people from other colleges are unworthy of learning magic?"

Harry frowned and said:

"So, that scary thing is the basilisk?"

Hermione shook her head and continued reading:

"Successive headmasters, not to mention scores of historians, have thoroughly searched the castle numerous times over the centuries, each time concluding that the Chamber of Secrets is merely a legend..."

Harry shook his head quickly and said:

"According to Professor Holmes and Headmaster Dumbledore, the Chamber of Secrets is real, and the entrance is most likely Myrtle's bathroom.

They already know exactly what's in the Chamber of Secrets, called a Basilisk, and even had me record a series of Parseltongue sounds that might open the Chamber of Secrets. It can't just be a legend..."

Hermione cleared her throat and whispered:

"Look, there's a text next to this one, but I still can't decipher what it is. I asked Professor Binns, but he doesn't recognize it. You just mentioned that Parseltongue is the key to opening the Chamber of Secrets, so could this text be in Parseltongue..."

At the same time, Hermione pointed out the text to Harry, but no matter how hard Harry looked at it, no matter how he imagined the text as a snake, he couldn't read it.

Ron reminded from the side:

"In fact, we can give this text to Professor Holmes. Maybe he can find something. He has been to so many places..."

Harry hesitated and stopped her, "I think we should first find out what a basilisk is."

Hermione glanced at Harry and quickly understood what he meant:

"Harry, don't forget that Myrtle's bathroom has been enchanted by several deans. Not to mention us, even Myrtle can only wander around the nearby corridors!"

Ron suddenly reacted and said excitedly:

"That's great, Harry. Hermione, don't forget that we also cracked the levels set by several professors last year!"

Harry nodded as well, and explained quietly:

"According to them, my Parseltongue should be able to directly control the Basilisk, but they are worried that the Ministry of Magic will discover my Parseltongue identity, so they won't let me participate in this matter.

I thought I would go in and control the basilisk first, and then..."

Suddenly Neville came over and Harry quickly shut up.

Neville greeted and asked:

"Hi, good evening. Why didn't I see you guys at dinner just now?"

Ron rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Neville, can't you see we are discussing something?"

Hermione quickly hit Ron and asked with a smile:

"Neville, what's up?"

Neville looked at the expressions of the three people and felt something was strange. He said doubtfully:

"Are you guys planning something again?"

The three of them looked at each other. Is it that obvious?

But then Neville turned to Hermione and asked:

"I haven't finished my Potions homework yet, and I'd like you to recommend some other books for me..."

Harry reminded: Read Shula

"Neville, have you forgotten that I am the Potions class representative?"

Neville scratched his head and said as a matter of course:

"My memory is much better now than before. How could I possibly forget something like this? But Hermione's Potions grades are better than yours. Professor Holmes said we should learn from good students."

Ron laughed and said, "Haha, you might as well say you forgot!"

Harry's face darkened.

Time slipped quietly into summer.

Hogwarts Castle was shrouded in a thin mist, and the warm breeze blowing from the Black Lake was damp and cool.

The sun slowly rose, and the sky and the lake turned light blue with purple light.

This ray of sunlight made the students who were reciting their lessons by the Black Lake feel a little irritated.

During this period, more and more students joined the morning jogging and reading teams. If it weren't for the fact that there were only a few months left until the end of the semester, Douglas would definitely ask Professor McGonagall to add morning jogging and reading courses to Hogwarts.

Regarding the basilisk, Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic finally decided to wait until the end of this semester, when the students left school, to take joint action.

Douglas didn't have much objection to this.

But some students have started to get irritated and dissatisfied.

While doing their homework at night, Harry, Ron and Hermione gathered in a corner and discussed quietly:

"It's been so long, and the professor still hasn't taken any action. I guess he's given up on this plan!"

Hermione copied examples from the book and said without looking up:

"That's normal. The basilisk is so dangerous. Whoever it glares at will die. How terrifying is that."

Ron nodded and advised:

"Harry, if the basilisk has been able to survive in Hogwarts for hundreds of years without causing any trouble, then nothing should happen to it in the future."

Harry said dissatisfiedly:

"I've said this many times, but you still don't understand. Voldemort is the last Slytherin heir. He once used the Basilisk to kill people and put the blame on Hagrid. Most importantly, Voldemort is still alive and can control the Basilisk at any time."

Hermione put down the quill in her hand, sighed and said:

"Harry, I'm curious where you get so much confidence from. If the professor can't solve it, why do you think you can?"

Harry glanced around and lowered his voice again.

"Don't forget, I'm a Parseltongue. I can control the Basilisk. Moreover, I've developed a detailed plan to capture it, but I need your cooperation..."

As he spoke, Harry pulled a foot-long piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it over.

Ron said in shock:

"Harry, we're together every day, and I don't even know when you wrote this."

Hermione took the parchment from Harry and opened it to examine it carefully.

Ron also came over and said before he even read a few words:

"Isn't this what Professor Holmes asked us to write before every practical class? The format is exactly the same."

Harry coughed lightly and said:

"Ahem, the professor said we should put what we learn into practice."

Hermione took a quick look and asked some questions:

"Although the book says that the crowing of a rooster is fatal to a basilisk, no one has ever tested it. Are you sure hanging a big rooster on your body will work?"

"And this, no wonder you delayed for so long after the Charms class that day. It turned out that you went to ask Professor Flitwick about the Eye-Sickness Charm. The professor should have told you that this is an advanced spell.

And if you wear an eyepatch, how can you be sure you can hit the basilisk's eyes..."
